Chapter XI

After crossing the street, you will arrive at the alley, where some old people are sitting chatting, and there are a group of children playing next to it. Du Qiyue looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he whispered to Huzi to follow behind him and not to speak unless he shouted, Huzi didn't understand why Du Qiyue didn't let him speak, but he also knew that he was stupid, so he nodded in response.

Du Qiyue took a breath, tidied up his clothes, and then took Huzi into the alley, walked to an old man who looked kind and kind sitting at the base of the wall, and politely asked the old man: "This old man, can you ask if Mrs. Zhou's family lives here?" โ€

The old man was originally dozing off with squinted eyes, but when he heard Du Qiyue ask him, he raised his eyelids and looked at Du Qiyue and said, "You live here, you Langjun is here to talk to Mrs. Zhou, right?" โ€

Du Qiyue smiled and didn't answer, and asked again: "Old man, can you tell me how to leave Zhou Media's mother-in-law's house?" โ€

The old man saw that Du Qiyue was young, so he only thought that Du Qiyue was embarrassed to say that he was thin-skinned, and he didn't blame him for not answering. He looked at Du Qiyue again, thinking that this Lang Jun must be a scholar in a robe, although he doesn't seem to have a good family background, but he looks like a talent, and he is knowledgeable when he speaks, so he will definitely be able to find a good relative. He raised his arm, beckoned to the group of children slowly, and shouted to one of the children: "Xiao Quan, this Lang Jun is looking for your grandmother, take him to your house quickly!" โ€

"Hey!" One of the children in the group immediately gave a long answer, and then a little fat man in a jujube shirt ran over, looked at Du Qiyue and then at Huzi, and said with a smile: "Two Langjun, please come with me, my family lives in the alley behind." โ€

This little fat man is white and chubby, and he is wearing red clothes, and he looks like the kind of big-headed doll that is common at temple fairs. Du Qiyue and Huzi followed him and turned a few corners, and soon entered a small courtyard with two entrances, and the little fat man didn't go in, but just stood at the door and yelled at the house: "Grandma, there are two Langjun looking for you, you come out quickly, I'll go back to play." โ€

The little fat man hurriedly ran out after shouting, Du Qiyue stood in the courtyard and heard Mrs. Zhou answer in the house, and then the person walked out of the east hut.

Mrs. Zhou greeted Du Qiyue with a smile on her face, her eyes quickly looked Du Qiyue and Huzi up and down, and saw that one of them was wearing a faded old robe, and the other was wearing a polished shirt, her brows wrinkled slightly, but she quickly laughed, and said with a slanted mouth: "Oops, let the two Lang Jun wait for a long time." The two of you came to me to talk to me as a matchmaker, is it a girl or a brother, which one? โ€

Huzi saw that Mrs. Zhou misunderstood that he was here to be a matchmaker, and his face turned red, and he wanted to defend himself and remembered what Du Qiyue had told him not to speak just now, so he had to bow his head embarrassedly.

Du Qiyue saw Huzi's appearance, so she stepped forward and said to Mrs. Zhou: "Aunt Zhou, why don't we go in and talk." โ€

Mrs. Zhou saw that Du Qiyue and Huzi didn't have much money, and she didn't really want to take them in, and she always had to prepare refreshments when she went into the house to entertain guests. However, she thought that she might receive two orders of matchmakers at once, so she was happy again, led the two into the hall, brought out a plate of the most ordinary snacks, and made two cups of tea.

"Two Langjun, quickly tell me which family you like to see the girl or brother, I have free this afternoon, just go to inquire for the two Langjun, if the other party is not married, I will soon be able to propose marriage for the two Langjun." Mrs. Zhou said diligently.

"Oh, in this way, Aunt Zhou, every time you come to the door to propose marriage, you will first inquire whether the other party has been married, right?" Du Qiyue picked up the teacup and was about to drink tea, he squinted his eyes when he heard this, he thought that Mrs. Zhou was deceived by the Qian family to do such a discrediting thing, but now it seems that she knows, otherwise she would not have gone to the Qian family at night.

"That's natural, I have to help the two Langjun inquire about each other's affairs, don't I? If the other party has a marriage or a bad reputation, then I can't accept this matchmaker. Mrs. Zhou smiled and straightened her chest and said, "My Mrs. Zhou is the most secure matchmaker, and I will never protect the matchmaker casually." โ€

"Really? Then I just have something to ask Aunt Zhou. Du Qiyue said.

"Ask me what?"

"I want to ask Aunt Zhou if you inquired about Qian Yin, the brother of the Qian family in Liushutun Village, before being a matchmaker." Du Qiyue looked at Mrs. Zhou and asked with a smile.

As soon as she heard the words of the Qian family in Liushutun Village, the smile on Mrs. Zhou's face disappeared suddenly, and she raised her eyes and asked, "What do you mean?" What does this have to do with you? If you don't want me to be a matchmaker, hurry up and leave, don't get in the way here. โ€

"If Aunt Zhou, you really inquire in advance every time you go to propose marriage, you must know that Qian Yin had married Du Qiyue of the Du family in Liushuwan Village before, and it is unfortunate that I am the unlucky Du Qiyue." Du Qiyue put down the teacup and said, he leaned back on the back of the chair, crossed Erlang's legs, changed his gentle expression just now, and put on a reckless look.

Looking at Du Qiyue, Mrs. Zhou was at a loss for a moment. Zhou matchmaker knew from the beginning that Qian Yin and Du Qiyue had been married, and the matchmakers in a town were in contact with each other, and the matchmaker invited by the Du family was still her good sister, and she didn't want to accept this list when she heard that the Li family wanted her to propose marriage was the Qian family's Qian Yin, but the Qian family stuffed her with twenty taels of silver, and allowed her to wait for Qian Yin to marry the Li family and then give her the benefit of fifty taels of silver, so Zhou Matchmaker hesitated. The Qian family saw that she was hesitant, so they told her about their own plan to calculate Du Qiyue, and told her that Du Qiyue's relatives were dead, and the relationship with the uncle and uncle's family was not good, and there was no contact with the uncle, even if the matter was revealed in the end, no one would give him a head. And at that time, Qian Yin had married into the Li family, and Du Qiyue couldn't make any waves if he wanted to. Mrs. Zhou thought about it and was indeed right, and quickly agreed to the Qian family, and everything went quite smoothly before today, but she didn't expect Du Qiyue to know about it, and suddenly came over.

"You... What do you want to do? Mrs. Zhou asked, twisting her handkerchief.

"I want money and silver." Du Qiyue looked at Mrs. Zhou and said.

"No, I can't give it to you, it's for the Li family." Mrs. Zhou immediately shouted when she heard this.

"I'm afraid that Aunt Zhou, you won't have a chance to give that Geng post to the Li family, and this marriage won't work. And Aunt Zhou, aren't you afraid that you will do another mess and ruin your reputation, and no one will look for you to protect the media in the future? Du Qiyue smiled and said.

A year ago, Zhou matchmaker made a matchmaker, the two families are good people, I thought it would be smooth, but I didn't expect the bride to be married on the third day of her husband and a cousin of her mother-in-law's family caught and raped in bed, the bride threw herself into the well and died in a fit of anger, and less than a month afterwards, the man took the cousin to the house, and the two lived a good life. Because of this incident, Mrs. Zhou's reputation has been ruined a lot, and she has not received the media for more than half a year, and now there are far fewer people who come to her to protect the media than before, which is also the reason why Mrs. Zhou will take the media of Li Qian and the two families regardless of the rules of the media.

Mrs. Zhou thought that today's matchmaker could no longer be bad, so she gritted her teeth and shook the handkerchief to drive people away, while saying: "Geng Tie will never give it to you, you will leave me immediately, since you know that the Qian family intends to repent of the marriage, you should go to the Qian family to make trouble, what is the matter with me, the matchmaker." โ€

"I originally guessed that this trip would not be good, if Aunt Zhou gives me Geng Tie, then we can discuss something. If you don't give it to me, then don't blame me for being rude. Du Qiyue said with a sneer.

Mrs. Zhou's heart was weak, and when she heard Du Qiyue's words, she became angry, as if she was giving herself courage, she slapped the table and scolded: "How do you want to be polite!" You think that if you bring someone here, your wife will be afraid of you! โ€

"Aunt Zhou, you really won't be afraid of me, otherwise you wouldn't accept this list of media, but I don't know if you are afraid of the government, you and the Qian family conspired to deliberately murder my reputation, I don't know how the county magistrate will judge this matter." Du Qiyue said, he wanted to threaten Mrs. Zhou to take out the money and silver, the laws of the Dafeng Dynasty were very strict, and ordinary people did not dare to provoke the government, of course Du Qiyue did not want to make trouble to the government for such a humiliating thing, he just wanted to scare Mrs. Zhou. It is necessary to know that if a matchmaker goes to the yamen because of being a matchmaker, she will definitely not be able to be a matchmaker in the future.

Who knew that instead of being frightened by this, Mrs. Zhou showed a smile on her face and said: "If this matchmaker is asked by someone else's family to protect it, I am really scared when you say this, but this matchmaker is asked to be guaranteed by the Li family on Sanjin Street in the town, then I have nothing to worry about." I don't know that the eldest brother of the Li family is the second husband of the county master, because he gave birth to an only son to the county master, and he is on an equal footing with the eldest lady in the house. So I advise you to go back to the Qian family to withdraw from the marriage as soon as possible, maybe the Qian family will let you withdraw from the marriage if they see you pitiful. โ€

If the Qian family had the intention of withdrawing from the marriage, they would not have thought about calculating Du Qiyue, then Qian Yin was nothing more than doing "โ–กโ–ก" and thinking about the archway of chastity, and Mrs. Zhou said that this was really poisonous.

Huzi, who had been sitting without speaking, couldn't bear it anymore when he heard this, and pointed at Zhou Matchmaker and scolded: "You old plague woman, it's obvious that you guys don't have a good heart, we are not afraid of you!" โ€

"Huzi, don't talk!" Du Qiyue raised his hand and pressed Huzi's arm, he really didn't expect that this money and silver climbed up to the county master's brother-in-law, but he was not afraid, Du Qiyue was fully prepared for coming this time.
